Manitowoc will feature a new Grove rough-terrain crane at its booth for bauma 2016: the all-new GRT8100, which features class-leading capabilities and Manitowoc?s Crane Control System (CCS). Debuting Grove?s new naming system (GRT= Grove rough-terrain), the GRT8100 is a generational update to the popular RT890E model. The new crane possesses a number of features that will enable it to lead its capacity class and deliver a better return on investment to owners.

?This new Grove model reflects everything we?ve learned in the last decade of crane design,? said Mike Herbert, Global Product Director of rough-terrain cranes at Manitowoc.

?The 90 t Grove GRT8100 will have exceptional reach with its 47 m boom that has a maximum tip height of 49 m. With a full complement of boom extension and insert options, the crane will also have best-in-class reach up to 77 m. The boom is lighter and longer than its predecessor, but has the ability to lift heavier loads throughout the load chart. Capability such as this will allow customers to get unparalleled usage out of a 90 t RT crane.
